Goodnight.

Simultaneously heartbroken and inspired to witness what's unfolding in my former hometown this week. On one side are the horrific accounts of abductions and abuse amid this unconstitutional invasion and occupation, and on the other are incredible stories of community solidarity. Bear down, Chicago.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

Miller represents the danger of bureaucratic power untethered from democratic legitimacy. He doesn’t answer to voters, yet he’s been instrumental in some of the most destructive and divisive policies of this era. That’s not leadership—it’s manipulation.

The Contrarian @contrariannews.org · 7h

Stephen Miller is a corrupt loser with a microphone and a Napoleon complex. He’s also basically running the government.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

Pritzker’s response cuts through the fearmongering. The point isn’t bravado—it’s moral clarity. You can’t intimidate someone who stands on the side of the law, democracy, and human decency. That’s what terrifies authoritarians most.

So far it seems like MTG is the only one that has a stake in this. She says the Medicaid/ACA cuts will effect her kids. Typical Republican. They only care if it effects them. But if she can sway more in the house I will give her credit for that. Any movement can't hurt at this point.

So far, that's all they've proven. Cowards. But much like our boycotts, that shift a corp's priorities based on profit, they will do what's in their best interest. If what that is has shifted, maybe ...

I think they are tired of losing and want a fresh start. It's at the point that they may think almost anything is better than continuing to kiss the ass of a pumpkin.
